I find no clue why the binary packages on my server aren't being picked

I found one problem: on my server, my apache log file had a 302 fetch
error for /var/cache/binpkgs/Packages. I touched it a few hours into
the future and started getting a 200 for it. But still no emerge would
fetch a binary (even though there ARE good candidates). On a guess, I
touched all the files in binpkgs an hour into the future, but that
didn't help.
Binary updates are VERY useful for virtual machines.
Unfortunately, there hasn't really been a resolution on this issue.
I think it's reasonable that if portage accesses a package on a binary
server and decides it's not eligible, it should report the reason for
rejecting it.
Is it possible to make requests for improvements in gentoo?
